Bethesda has released the second official trailer for its new Doom game, Doom: The Dark Ages. This trailer features some in-game cut-scenes, as well as some short gameplay footage. So, if you are looking forward to it, I highly recommend watching it.
Doom: The Dark Ages will be a single-player, action FPS prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. As always, you will assume the role of the DOOM Slayer, the legendary demon-killing warrior fighting endlessly against Hell.
The game will take place in a medieval setting. And, from what I can see in the trailer, the devs have made the BFG a crossbow. It’s a cool touch in my opinion. Plus, you will be able to ride a dragon. At the end of the trailer, we also see a Cthulhu-like creature/boss. So, this feels like a mix of Hexen/Heretic with Doom.
The biggest feature of Doom: The Dark Ages is its parry system. Although this will be a fast-paced game, it will allow players to parry attacks. So, think of it as a mix of Doom 2016 and Sekiro? Okay, the parry window is not as tight as the one for Sekiro. Still, this description can give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
Bethesda plans to release Doom: The Dark Ages on May 15th. As we’ve already reported, the game will support Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing on PC. Thus, we can assume that it will support DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Gen. After all, Indiana Jones already supports the latest version of DLSS.
Moreover, the game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. However, I expect Bethesda to remove it a year (or two) after the game’s release. After all, this is exactly what the publisher has done with both Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

I'll go play Ultimate DOOM in VR.
Cthulhu as DLC maybe, anyway shut up and take my money
Why not go all the way and make it a smash em up game? Feels like id is loosing its roots more and more
Needs more gore.
I wish the 2016 Doom reboot was closer to Doom 3 in terms of its mood. Doesn't need to be a full-on horror game, just have monster designs that do not look goofy af and stop with the "tHeY fEaR tHe DoOmSlAyEr!!!" narrative, it's cringe and boring.
i wish they stayed with the uac style from doom 2016 instead of going medieval.
kids and infantile 30-40-year olds with a power fantasy are pissing themselves silly from that narrative in the comments on Youtube. Not to mention all the "chosen one" references and stupid lore about space elves that id Software doubled down on starting from Doom
EternalWeapon-switch.By far the only good interesting shooter this year
What in the fcking Avengers american superhero movie for kids is this sht?!
Wtf are those tons of posh devil f4gg0ts and their talking crap?! And doomguy posing like a f4gg0t for some camera shots?! And the cyber dragon sht, and the giants and military-like scenes of tons of dudes shooting while retreating?! And the "parry back the bright green projectile" mechanic like it was a mobile game?! And where's the map design when it's all wide open arenas?! 🤦🏻♂️
Drop me in some gritty hellish levels to shoot some mofos into gibs while trying to survive like in Doom II without all that crap, make the games for guys with some fcking hair in their chest.
What a disgrace what id has turned Doom into.
I loved the 2016 Doom, but the next one I lost interest because I couldnt get the grappling thing right I remember I just kept falling trying to get across an area. Anyway this one looks ok, not sure if I'll get it or not.
This would be kind of cool done as an animated streaming series though.
Looks better in this trailer than other recent gameplay footage.
Included on game pass, what a steal!
Gameplay looks way too slow. No longer Doom and more about the stupid Xbox controller. I don't want a stupid Halo game. I want a Doom game.
The Character/World Art looks fantastic, but that 1 shot with Stronk wahman is worrisome… They hide the agenda in the Trailers but cant help themselves.
